About this map

O'Fallon and St Peters anchor this mid-century survey of St. Charles County, where the transition from floodplains to upland ridges is clearly defined by an extensive Levee system and the winding courses of Peruque Creek and Dardenne Creek. The presence of Fort Zumwalt and its adjacent Ft Zumwalt Sch highlights the local historical importance of the area, while the St Marys Institute stands as a prominent landmark in the center of O'Fallon.

Infrastructure is dominated by the Wabash railroad and highway corridor, which parallel the topography of the Dardenne and Cuivre regions. Further north, a series of water bodies including Pallardy Lake and Lharky Lake dot the landscape near St Paul, showing a complex drainage network managed by the Corps of Engineers. Rural institutions like the Dardenne Ch and Cool Springs Sch suggest the community's decentralized settlement pattern during this era of growth.
